OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Berhad’s corporate customers got a taste of the Bank’s strong Asian heritage alongside its adoption of modern Western influences when they were treated to a celebration of old world glamour at the Grand Ballroom of Le Meridien Hotel Kuala Lumpur recently. 

The OCBC Bank East Meets West customer appreciation night took guests through the nostalgia of the 1950s, surrounded by a classical reel of eastern and western elements with intricate birdcage chandeliers amidst the fine paraphernalia, vibrant blooms and classic sofa lounges. The crowd came dressed to the nines in their alluring cheongsams, mesmerising dresses and sharp tuxedos, channeling chinoiserie chic to the core.

The Gold award from the annual Spikes Asia Awards has eluded Malaysian agencies for the past three years, but not this year, as Isobar Malaysia, a Dentsu Aegis Network agency, successfully brought home the top honours at the awards ceremony held in Singapore last Friday.

The award-winning work was Isobar’s campaign entitled ‘HoEeKi’ (‘Let It Go’ in the Chinese-Hokkien dialect) for Mudah.my, Malaysia’s largest online marketplace. Winning under the ‘Online Fiction – Entertainment’ category, it was Malaysia’s only Gold award for the night.
